Definitions

  • the invention relates to a baby bottle device and a method of producing a baby bottle.
  • a colic is a condition some infants suffer from during early months and is caused by air in the digestive system. Air ingestion is unavoidable both in breast feeding and bottle feeding due to the presence of vacuum in the infant's mouth during feeding. It is, however, desired to reduce the amount of air ingestion by the infant to reduce the risk of a colic.
  • WO 2018/162366 discloses a baby feeding bottle with a container, an adapter and a teat. Furthermore, a partitioning may be provided between the teat volume and the volume of the container. The partition allows fluid to flow from the container into the teat and that air inside the teat volume can escape into the container volume in order to reduce the amount of air in the teat volume.
  • a baby bottle device which comprises a container with a container volume, a teat with a teat volume and a valve unit.
  • the teat comprises a first valve for inletting air into the inside volume of the bottle.
  • the inside volume of the bottle corresponds to the volume of the container and the teat volume.
  • the valve unit with a second valve is arranged outside the teat volume.
  • the threshold of the vent unit is lower than the threshold of the first vent in the teat.
  • valve unit outside the teat volume will first be activated or let in air before the valve in the teat will let in air.
  • This is advantageous as the air inlet will occur at a position which is not inside the teat volume.
  • This is advantageous as an air inlet into the milk inside the teat volume can be avoided.
  • the bottle comprises an adapter for coupling the teat and the container.
  • This second valve can be arranged in the region of the adapter.
  • a partitioning element can be provided between the teat volume and the container volume.
  • valve unit can be part of the partitioning element. Thus, only one piece needs to be manufactured.
  • such a valve can be embodied as a duckbill valve in the partitioning module.
  • the second valve can be attached at one end to the partitioning module and the other end can be pressed against the container or the adapter.
  • Such an implementation can be advantageous in view of dimensional tolerances.
  • a baby bottle comprising a container, a teat, optionally an adapter and optionally a separator.
  • the separator can be implemented as a portioning element and is placed between the teat and the container.
  • An air valve is integrated in the separator enabling an air flow into the bottle outside of the volume of the teat.
  • the teat comprises a further valve.
  • the valve in the separator can be implemented as a flexible sheet of material that when mounted in the bottle is in contact with a solid surface, namely a wall of the container.
  • the valve is part of the partitioning element. Hydrostatic pressure can press the flexible sheet of the valve unit against the surface of the wall of the container thus preventing leakage towards the outside of the bottle.
  • a method of producing a baby bottle device is provided.
  • a teat having a teat volume and at least a first valve is provided.
  • a container having a container volume is also provided as well as a valve unit arranged outside the teat volume.
  • the valve unit has a second valve which has a lower cracking pressure than the first valve.
  • Fig. 1 discloses a schematic representation of a baby bottle device.
  • the baby bottle 100 comprises a container 120 with a container wall 120a, a teat 110 and optionally an adapter 130 for example in form of an attachment ring to attach the teat 110 to the container 120.
  • the container 120 comprises a thread 121 which can interact with a thread 131 of the adapter 130 such that the teat 110 can be fastened to the container 120.
  • the container 120 comprises a container volume 125 and the teat 110 comprises a teat volume 115.
  • the teat 110 may comprise at least one valve 112 and holes/apertures 116.
  • a partitioning element 300 can be provided between the teat 110 and the container 120.
  • a valve unit 200 is provided outside the teat volume 115.
  • the valve unit 200 can in particular be provided in the region of the adapter 130 if an adapter is present.
  • the valve unit 200 can be provided between the partitioning element 300 and the wall 120a of the container 120. Accordingly, the valve function is moved away from the teat volume 115.
  • a cracking pressure of the valve unit 200 can be lower than a cracking pressure of a valve 112 of the teat 110. Accordingly, the valve unit 200 will allow air to enter into the bottle at a lower pressure than the valves 112 of the teat 110.
  • the valve unit 200 can be part of the partitioning element 300. They can be provided as one piece.
  • valve unit 200 can be provided between an open end of the container 120 and the adapter 130 or between the container wall 120a and the partitioning element 300.
  • valve unit 200 can be provided at the partitioning module 300 and can bear against the wall 120a of the container as shown in Fig. 2A .
  • Fig. 2A shows a further schematic cross section of a baby bottle device according to an embodiment.
  • Fig. 2B shows an enlarged portion of the baby bottle according to Fig. 2A .
  • the bottle 100 comprises a container 120 with a wall 120a, a teat 110 and optionally an adapter 130.
  • a partitioning element 300 is provided between a volume 125 of the container and a volume 115 of the teat 110.
  • the partitioning element 300 may comprise several openings 310, 320.
  • a valve unit 200 is provided e.g. at the circumference of the partitioning unit 300 and bears against a wall 120a of the container 120. The valve unit 200 allows outside air A to flow into the container volume 125 without coming into contact with the milk M inside the teat 110.
  • the valve unit 200 is attached to the partitioning element 300 and can have a flexible material (like rubber, silicone rubber) such that a flexible arm 210 is pressed against the inside of the container wall 120a.
  • the arm 210 and the portioning element 300 can be manufactured by a 2K (two component) manufacturing, e.g. as one piece.
  • Fig. 3A shows a further schematic cross section of a baby bottle device according to an embodiment.
  • Fig. 3B shows an enlarged portion of the baby bottle 100 according to Fig. 3A .
  • the structure of the bottle as shown in Fig. 3A substantially corresponds to the structure of the bottle according to Fig. 2A .
  • a valve unit 200 is provided at the partitioning element 300 and interacts with the container wall 120a. Accordingly, an arm 220 of the valve 200 may press against the inside of the container wall. This can be beneficial in view of dimensional tolerances.
  • Fig. 4A shows a further schematic cross section of a baby bottle device according to an embodiment.
  • Fig. 4B shows an enlarged portion of the baby bottle according to Fig. 4A .
  • the bottle according to Fig. 4A corresponds to the bottle according to Fig. 2A or 3A with the exception of the partitioning unit 300 and the valve unit 200.
  • the valve unit 200 can comprise a duckbill valve 230 and is part of the partitioning element 300.
  • a cracking pressure of the valve unit 200 is lower than a cracking pressure of the valve 112 in the teat.
  • the valve unit 200 can be implemented as a flexible sheet of material which interacts with the wall 1200 of the container 120 and is attached to the partitioning element 300.
  • a flexible arm may be pressed against an inside of the wall of the bottle.
  • valve unit 200 is arranged between the partitioning element 300 and a wall of the container.
  • the vent unit 200 according to Fig. 4A and 4B is implemented as a duckbill valve which is not in contact with the container wall.
  • a single unit or device may fulfill the functions of several items recited in the claims.
  • the mere fact that certain measures are recited in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that a combination of these measures cannot be used to advantage.
